Congrats to OFMD for using the “play within a play” trope that does indeed “catch the conscience of the king” but instead of outing him as an unrepentant murderer reveals his extensive childhood trauma and Freudian attachment to abusive white men while also expanding on his desire to protect both his own softness and the people who show him kindness.
And rather than the prince deliberately using the play to force the king to confess, he accidentally uses it to deepen the bond between himself and the king and reject the shadowy monster who wants to destroy them both.
Applause all around.

The Art of Fuckery is so damn Shakespeare, all the hiding behind curtains–very Shakespeare, very Hamlet. Ed trying to decide if he’s going to kill Stede or not–very very Hamlet. When Ed is watching the fuckery and has a complete breakdown when he sees the kraken, so so goddamn Hamlet, WTF. Claudius is reminded of his own murderous actions, breaks down and flees. Ed, reminded of his deepest, darkest moment, the moment that makes him feel like a monster, that haunts him for the rest of his life, gasps and collapses and has to crawl into the bathtub. WHY IS THIS TV SHOW SO SHAKESPEARE I DIE.
“Turn your enemy’s worst fear against them. You’ll own them.”
“The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.”

@bludrite SAID: “that girl’s plain dumb.” -- hugo ☆ MEME: nicole dollanganger’s married in mount airy sentence starters ☆ send FANMAIL!
“Will you stop?” Exasperated, annoyed. His eyes sharpen, glancing at Hugo’s jugular, an extremely unsubtle threat. “She’s not. There are plenty of mean, true things you could say about her.”
Of course, he’d rather they weren’t said right now. He’s too defensive to want to agree with him on anything. It’s ridiculous how cruel Hugo is to Willow; he doesn’t gain anything from it, there’s no meaningful reason behind it, and he doesn’t even bother to say the right things. He doesn’t deserve the luxury. They are not the same.
“Besides, I don’t want to hear it. You’re illiterate.”

If I was still a student I’d most definitely write a piece and how Ophelia’s “madness” is treated differently than Hamlet’s
